Edge detection VHDL (what's the best solution)

Hello everybody Well for Edge detection we always use C language because it's much easier to code the algorithm !! What do you think is the best solution that can be coded in VHDL for edg...

Carl - I think its more complicated than edge detection on a single input signal. Sounds like the OP is talking about edge detection in an image.

The best thing to do is code up your algorithm in C/Matlab so that you know it works. Then learn digital design, and then covert it to VHDL. Compare the VHDL results to the C/Matlab model, and there you go. You can do plenty of edge detection algorithms in VHDL (sobel, Haas, lutz, wavelet ). Its really up to how good your engineering skills are.
